Chloe Adam

I have an outstanding work ethic, quiet but impactful leadership skillset, and a compassionate and positive character that sets me apart from peers. I have learned to balance my academic course load with leadership and service to the community, and I pride myself in doing the right things for the right reasons, no matter if anyone is looking. Compassion, understanding, and open-mindedness are essential traits of my character. As many teachers have shared with me in the past, I am a quiet leader. Because I can relate to others and because I do not ask anyone to do something I would not do myself, my guidance to correct academic group work is well accepted. My view is that quiet leadership is as good as loud leadership, and compassion towards others builds trust and respect amongst the team or group. Building trust is essential because without trust, a leader would not have any true followers. In addition, remaining calm under stress and being courageous to challenge the “norm” when right is right is important to me.
